Getting the otherside for our @RebelNewsOnline viewers from the counter protesters against the pro-freedom veterans rally. They say other countries are preventing the unvaccinated from flying not just Canada. Misinformed or malicious? Watch yourself. ConvoyReports.com

Ottawa’s #CanadaOnFire action starts in 10 mins outside @cathmckenna’s constituency office. No one from her office is coming today. NDP and Green candidates are. Minister, you know the stakes of the climate emergency. Will you stop by?

Today, we made @cathmckenna feel the heat (in the rain) as we demanded emergency-level action on the climate crisis. #CanadaOnFire @350Canada

Unsurprisingly, @cathmckenna wasn’t there & refused the pledge. But our riding is lucky enough to have 2 candidates who agreed to our demands: 1️⃣ Moratorium on new fossil fuel projects and freeze ones under construction 2️⃣ Just transition legislation @AMacEwen @akellerherzog

Dropping off letter for @JustinTrudeau from @GreenpeaceCA @CanEnvLawAssn @SierraClubCan @FoE_Canada @CAPE_Doctors & others. Trudeau govt’s plan for new ‘small’ #nuclear reactors across Canada is a dirty, dangerous, costly distraction from #climateaction #cdnpoli #greenrecovery

For a #JustRecovery to be possible, we need to make our voices heard. People power can beat corporate power when we work together. Join us today - tweet @cafreeland and ask her to support a recovery that puts people first.

At the last council meeting, @ottawacity proposed clawing back $2 million (80%!) from the city's #climate plan. Climate was the only program targeted for specific attack. Meanwhile, Ottawa continues to spend massive $ widening roads, that only induce more traffic. Why?

.@JLeiper says it all: "If we're going to be sustainable, if we are going to have 15-minute neighbourhoods, if we're going to have affordable public transit ... then we can't just give in to market demand for single-family homes." cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ur…

We support #Hotels2Homes because we had to turn away over 900 women last year because we were at capacity.

As we await new version of Liberal bill, Greens stress it cannot just include sweeping powers with no connection to action required to deal with #COVID19. We could never support powers over and 21 months to spend billions on anything, including bailing out fossil fuels. 1/2 #GPC

just putting it out into the world that @CJEdmonton, a group of literal teens and broke volunteers, only has 454 less followers than the $80 million official #ableg war room twitter account (@ CDNEnergyCentre). would... be ... a shame if someone... changed ... that.
